Rambo's Rampages...

A.k.a. Rambo the Destroyer A.k.a. Theodore None of these are a good thing. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yes, I know. Climbing the steps is technically a good thing but the living it out part is not going to be fun. As far as the glass...... I'm none too pleased. It's like the dog bowl situation. It doesn't matter how many times you tell him 'no' he is going to do it anyway. He broke the glass by throwing a wooden block because he. throws. EVERYTHING.  Ugh. Both of these happened before 10am this morning. I can't wait to see what the rest of the day has in store. (Yes I can. I can definitely wait.)

I woke up this morning to a call at 7:01 (Yes I was still in bed. I decided to forgo my morning run and stay in bed for an extra hour.) from one of Theodore's nurses telling me that she was in the parking lot I showed her and she didn't know where to go from there. Uh................................................  You know as much as I do. She tried several times to get me to understand, even after I told her who she was talking to, until she finally looked at her phone, realized who she called, laughed, said sorry, and hung up.  Anyway. We are getting ready to start school. Theodore's first day was yesterday and I think he had a good time. I'm really trying to keep my outlook up this year. It's interesting to me how much I fight homeschooling. I wouldn't want to do it any other way.... I just don't want to do it. But this year I have decided to accept my calling and get organized. I have a schedule for everything. EVERYTHING. Each child has a sc...

Hearkening back to the warm wonderful days a few weeks ago. Park time with the kids :)  

And that's how Theodore spent a good bit of Easter. He did take part in the Easter egg hunt but lost interest after 3 eggs.  All in all it was a good day. I'd love to say I have a picture of all of us together, but it didn't happen :( With all the loading up and unloading and setting up and breaking down we totally forgot. In fact, these are the only pictures taken at all that day. Oh well. One forgotten (or not) Easter picture will not be what's remembered in 10 years anyway.

We all know that the first day of school for Theodore was less than pleasant for all involved. Here are finally a few pictures quickly snapped from the chaos of that day: Can you tell the kids woke up early to say goodbye? Everyone looks so tired.  They each said a prayer for him before he left. (That's his wonderful nurse we are SO thankful to have back.)   And then he hit the bus. In the rain. He was not happy about it. But he made it to school safely. Although you can tell he wasn't feeling well. Thankfully today was a much different day. He got on the bus without too much fuss. And no crying! And here he is in his classroom! His nurse said as soon as she got him out of his wheelchair he immediately crawled over to the table where all his classmates were sitting and pulled himself up to see what they were doing. Not bad for only the second day! He makes me so proud!

Play time. Dog bones. Sleeping. Yup, that pretty much sums it up.
